Answer:

not enough skin exposure to the sun to make Vitamin D.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>not enough skin exposure to the sun to make Vitamin D.</u>

The body makes vitamin D by being exposed to the sun and this vitamin and its metabolite are quite important in the homeostasis of calcium. Calcium on its own is very essential to the formation of bones in the body.

<em>Hence, when the skin is not adequately exposed to the sun, the body becomes short of vitamin D and this disrupts the homeostasis of calcium and the formation of bones in the body. Thus, osteoporosis, also known as weak bones, may result. </em>

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Provisioning services are disrupted by increased combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in air pollution".

Unfortunately, disruption of an ecosystem service could happen by an anthropogenic activity, which are the activities that humans perform. One example is the disruption of provisioning services by increased combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in air pollution. The ecosystem provides clean air that gives oxygen for people and animals to breath, however high combustion of fossil fuels could disrupt this service.
